This exceptional copper coin hails from ancient Ujjaini, a historically significant city during the 2nd century BC, representing a fascinating window into India's numismatic heritage. The coin is a copper unit from the Kasarwad Hoard—a renowned archaeological find that provides invaluable insights into the monetary systems of classical India. The obverse showcases intricate iconography: a tree enclosed in railings, a horse walking rightward, and most notably, Mahakal—the fierce manifestation of Lord Shiva—depicted facing left while holding a Kamandalu (water vessel) and a Dand (staff). The reverse displays the distinctive Ujjaini symbol with a Taurine design flanked by orbs. A notable feature is the counter-strike bearing the 'Tiscali' mark on the obverse, indicating secondary stamping—a rarity that adds significant numismatic interest. Weighing 6.26 grams and graded in About Very Fine condition, this coin exhibits excellent preservation for its age. Its rarity, combined with the hoard provenance and unique counter-strike characteristics, makes it highly sought after by serious collectors. Ancient Ujjaini coins are particularly prized for their historical context, artistic merit, and investment potential. This piece represents not just currency but a tangible artifact of an ancient civilization's religious beliefs and economic sophistication. #
